Our Mission
As an assembly empowered by the glory
of the Resurrection, we are committed
to one another and to the tradition of
the Catholic Church in celebrating the Seven
Sacraments, the Sacred Liturgy, proclaiming
the Good News through Education,
sustaining the community of Faith, and
promoting Charity, Peace and Justice
for all people, now and forever.
THE WATERS OF BAPTISM
When new sod is put in, it needs constant saturation
with water. Landscapers say that this “knits” the sod to
the soil. The same when a branch is grafted onto a tree:
the poultice that joins them at the splice must be kept
wet at all times. Water is the stuff that binds the very
cells of our bodies together. No wonder religions
throughout all times and cultures have used it so
prominently. When Jesus stepped into the Jordan for
baptism, he “knit” himself to what had come before him.
By going to the Jordan, he made himself one with the
people of Israel who had crossed it into their Promised
Land. With John the Baptist, Christ wove himself into
the prophetic tradition that heralded the coming reign of
God. He had become fully human in the waters of Mary’s
womb, and by partaking in the rite of the baptism of
repentance, Jesus identified himself with our sinful, frail
humanity. It is through the waters of baptism that
Christ continues to graft new members onto his Body,
the Church; through these waters we are cleansed from
sin and filled with the promise of grace, given our
destiny for eternal life. For us, as for Jesus, it is also the
waters of baptism that inaugurate our mission to
proclaim the Good News.

AN ANCIENT BAPTISTERY
One of the most ancient and enduring sites for
baptism in Rome is the church of San Giovanni in
Fonte. This church is in fact a baptistery, and houses
the font for the Lateran Basilica, the cathedral of
Rome. The Emperor Constantine sponsored its construction in the year 315, and it is therefore the oldest
baptistery in the world. It is the model for nearly all
later baptisteries, including perhaps the font in your
own parish church.

MILITARY COLLECTION

We welcome new families to

ordinary means of meeting your
obligations to your Parish.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
¿Recuerdas tu bautismo? Permítanme
compartir mi testimonio. No recuerdo los eventos
del día en que me bautizaron, pero tengo años
recordando que, gracias a Dios y mis padres,
estoy bautizado. Trato de vivir mi vida recordando
mi bautismo, buscando que mi comportamiento
sea digno de una persona bautizada.
Fui bautizado al mes de haber nacido, y
confirmado cuando tenía sólo un añito (eran
otros tiempos). Hice mi primera (y no última)
comunión a los siete años. Continuaba asistiendo
a las clases de catecismo (doctrina), no obstante,
cuando cumplí 17 años, sentí que algo me faltaba. Mis amigos protestantes me invitaban a sus
Iglesias, pero yo buscaba a Dios en mi Iglesia
católica. Un día, gracias al grupo carismático
recibí el bautismo en el Espíritu Santo y desde
ese momento mi vida cambió. Ahora sé que el
Espíritu lo había recibido en mi Bautismo, Confirmación y Primera Comunión, lo único que debía hacer era permitirle actuar en mi vida. Creo
que en la vida de muchos cristianos, el Espíritu
Santo sigue esperando que le den permiso de
actuar. Y tú, ¿qué esperas? Pídele al Espíritu que
se mueva en tí y vive tu Bautismo.
—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
UN ANTIGUO BAUTISTERIO
En Roma está uno de los lugares para bautizar más antiguos que ha permanecido a lo largo
de los siglos, está en la iglesia de san Giovanni en
Fonte. De hecho la iglesia es el bautisterio y ahí
está la pila bautismal de la Basílica de Letrán,
la catedral de Roma. El emperador romano
Constantino patrocino la construcción en el año
315 por lo que lo hace el bautisterio más antiguo
del mundo. Su edificación es modelo para todos
los bautisterios que se construyeron después,
incluyendo quizá la pila bautismal que puede
haber en tu propia parroquia.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
All parishioners are reminded that next Sunday will be Pancake Breakfast Sunday. This
is one of our basic ongoing fund raisers held on the 3rd Sunday of the every month after every
Mass. Come enjoy the usual delicious, generous fare of scrambled eggs, pancakes, ham slices,
and link sausages. It's a great way to continue a pleasant Sunday with family and friends.
Net proceeds usually totaling $200 are added to the funds that we need to continue our
charitable agenda here in this beautiful foothill community of ours.
Also, for those parishioners who have not yet signed up for the bus to San Francisco for
the Walk for Life, please remember to do so soon before all seats are taken. As a reminder, the
bus will be departing the church parking lot at approximately 7:30 AM on Saturday, January
24th. If you are planning to attend, please contact Brother Steve Souza at 916.337.2100.
There will be a $15.00 fee to help defray the cost of the bus.
The West Coast Walk for Life is one of our most basic activities, that we Knights faithfully
support and promote. The annual Walk is a peaceful demonstration by Christians meant to
decry the terrible institution of abortion that is so ingrained in our great
country. The majority of the substantial $2,000 plus cost to charter the
bus to get us to San Francisco is funded by the net proceeds from our
annual All You Can Eat Crab Feed. Last year, your generous support of
the crab feed allowed us to continue to fund the transportation. Tickets
for this wonderful event are available from any Knight or from the parish
office. Despite rising costs, we are holding the price per ticket for adults to
$40.00, and $15.00 for kids under 12.
Brother Council Officers, we will be holding our monthly Officers meeting in the lobby of
Gurnell Hall next Thursday, January 15th. The meeting will start at the usual time of 6:30.
Hopefully, all Officers will make a point to attend.
Anthony Arjil, Grand Knight

LAS AGUAS BAUTISMALES
Cuando se planta un césped nuevo, debe regarse constantemente. Los jardineros dicen que
esto “teje” el césped al suelo. Lo mismo sucede cuando se injerta una rama a un árbol: el cataplasma que los une debe estar húmedo en todo momento. El agua es lo que mantiene unidas a
las células de nuestro cuerpo. Con razón las religiones de todas las épocas y culturas han usado
tanto este símbolo. Cuando Jesús se sumerge en el Jordán para ser bautizado, se “teje” a todo
aquello que lo precedía. Al sumergirse en el Jordán, se hizo uno con el pueblo de Israel que había
cruzado el río para llegar a su Tierra Prometida. Junto a Juan Bautista, Cristo se tejió a la tradición profética que presagiaba la venida del Reino de Dios. Jesús se había convertido plenamente
en humano en las aguas del vientre de María y al participar del rito del Bautismo
del arrepentimiento, se sintió identificado con nuestra frágil y pecaminosa humanidad. Por las aguas del Bautismo Cristo continúa injertando nuevos miembros a
su Cuerpo, la Iglesia; gracias a nuestro destino de vida eterna, por estas aguas
somos limpiados del pecado y recibimos la promesa de la gracia. Para nosotros,
como para Jesús, las aguas bautismales también inauguran nuestra misión de
